A couple of things you missed. First, using the axe as a weapon uses twice the durability in combat. Second, and this is a big one, you can have multiple crossbows on your hotbar, pre-charged, and use them in quick succession, giving more damage per second than any other weapon hands down. You showed this in effect at the end of the video, but I imagine a lot of people didn't realize what was happening.
Projectile still have damage cooldown in java so . . . Not very effective lmao.
Very true, I was going to discuss them in the video but had to cut them out as it was too long
He also forgot to mention that crossbow rockets suck on Bedrock.
it dosend change the dmg/secunds
@@gunterfischhuber2003 we know it's still the same DPS, I think he meant increases Burst Damage.
7:26 on java impaling doesn't affect drowneds since they are undead mobs not aquatic, this make the java trident only useful on turtles and (elder)guardians
However in bedrock, tridents are wayyy more effective since mobs under rain will take damage from impaling, so you basically one hit every regular overworld mobs
That is correct, I didn't do the best job explaining the differences there, although I definitely think Impaling in java should be the same as it is in bedrock
@@Eyecraftmc too broken tbh, java armor kinda sucks xD.
Wow i thoght impaling was UsLesS!
@@thewitheredscythe5525 it is not that useful on java
they really should buff tridents to be slightly more common, and impaling to be as good as bedrock
You forgot to say how a crossbow with a piercing enchant gives you infinity arrows, including Tipped arrows. Making it useful for villager curing, or whatever other uses you might have for tipped arrows.
Shoot a piercing enchanted crossbow with a weakness tipped arrow at the zombie villager, then give it a golden apple, and finally retrieve back the arrow wherever it landed, thus 1 arrow of weakness that can be used forever for all your curing villager needs. No more having to constantly brew potion of weakness!
Yeah i used this trick in my world, so i didn't need any blaze rods for weakness potions. Because some fletcher villagers trade 'Arrow of Weakness'.
Piercing also completely ignores the shield. Had to learn it the hard way when a pillager patrol appeared and I was wondering why the blocking wasn't working at all.
Not to mention you can use rockets with it I’m basically turning into a rocket launcher and you can put it to where it shoots multiple projectiles at a time.
ooh turning the crossbow into a multi-use syringe launcher! never knew that was possible
Good to know!
One thing I like about the crossbow is being able to effectively fire from cover. With the bow, you're exposed when you draw it back as your movement is slowed down, making it harder to fire from cover. A loaded crossbow doesn't inhibit your movement allowing you fire while on the move. Plus, quick charge mitigates the disadvantage of long loading time, allowing you to fire rapidly while putting out full power shots.
Problem with that is crossbows are mainly paired with fireworks and fireworks must be in offhand in order to shoot. This is a big disadvantage seeing how the off hand is so important for holding totems or shields in pvp
@@StereotypicalAsianwait what? how about in bedrock, when off hands can only work on shields and totems of undying?
Using a riptide trident in the rain with an elytra lets you go insanely fast, I think it might even be the fastest method of transport in the game. It's also a good idea to leave puddles (blocks of water with waterlogged chests) around you base as a way to use riptide anytime instead of walking around or using an elytra and fireworks
or carry some waterbuckets
Using riptide and pearls is much faster than just riptide
@@hsheheishje9649 Only works if your render distance is high enough if you want to go farther than a few chunks though. And you need to keep stacks of pearls with you on all times
I placed water i many holes around my house to go up fast . Its so useful
@@TheGreatOwlMaster with ender pearls you also have to constantly stop and heal. Unless you have beacons surrounding your base or you have a gold and apple farm for golden apples.
I hope everyone reading this has a beautiful day :)
Thanks, you too :D
I'm totally not pretending Im having a good day
Thanks man, you too 👺✨️✨️
Thanks Link, you as well 😁
Thanks link ♥️ I hope you have a wonderful day aswell🙏
Dude, I love your guides. Without you I'd be a dead man.
💯
Same lol
Last Stand Of The Dead Men
Yes
Bro you are making the best content out here on CZcams. It has helped me a lot. Keep up the amazing work.
I appreciate that!
To bad he doesn't take the time to fact check things. :/
@@nip3004 ratio
My favourite weapon is a bow, I defeated a whole raid on hard mode just using the bow and specially without taking damage.
Yes the bow is one of my favorites too, and power 5 does tons of damage
@@Eyecraftmc My favorite weapon is a crossbow because you can fire multiple arrows and use fireworks on it. 😀
Same the bow is such a useful weapon
Also, if you keep the bow in your off-hand, and have a Looting III sword in your main hand, then anything you shoot will have drop rates affected by the looting enchantment. Super useful for taking out shulkers or anything else with valuable drops that you don't want to get close to.
@@IsaacSchlueter Sir I've been playing since beta and you just taught me something new
My favorite weapon is the crossbow but I'd like to see more enchantments like flame on it rather than just piercing, multishot and quick charge.
yeah we need power on crossbows too
@@noodlesoup2586 as far as i understand it, crossbow starts off slow and powerful and moves towards constant power on multiple targets and at higher speed, while bow has constant speed, but ever increasing damage. iirc power 5 bow on full charge is over 20 damage, on average. power on crossbows with fast windup and multishot or piercing so that it could get through shields would be absolutely broken
Riptide is very effective for leaping out of water as a mix-up or travel method. I put a Riptide trident in my main hand to leap out of the water, and a Loyalty trident in my offhand to snipe enemies from above. When it’s raining, you can dash repeatedly with Riptide instead.
I did something different on my most recent survival world and went for two tridents. The versatility of them is underrated, and as a Bedrock player the impaling dmg is insane. Definitely my favorite weapon
Tridents are definitely great and probably have the most unique uses of any weapon
Yup 👍
Can’t imagine my life without my riptide trident. Every time it’s raining I am getting very happy, when I spot lightning I am throwing trident into creepers and then watching the show of mobs being exploded. Also, I lost my loyalty 3 trident 3 times why didn’t it come back? Did you have the same issue?
@@BrekekeReal where did you throw it? It won't come back if it hasn't landed. Like throwing it at in the end, or outside of your render distance, into unloaded chunks.
@@JuanCarlos-hb1vv oh :(
The damage of the bow is dependent on the speed of the arrow. If you shoot an arrow while speed flying with an elytra, you can deal insane amounts of damage
HAWKEYE!
Does this effect work on crossbows?
@@shambleshef yea, since that fires arrows aswell but i'm not sure
Wait what that’s so cool
If you use a riptide trident in the rain + an elytra + a maxed bow that would be like instant death
This man has the best content, unlike other CZcamsrs, this guy's content is straightforward, short, thorough, detailed, and just amazing. Keep it up!
Agreed. His voice is soothing too looool
You forgot to include the fact that piercing crossbows go through shields, so they're good for pvp
Late game, they're not very good unless your using harming arrows because the crossbow damage against late game armor is minimal
@@sidr8920 In late game you will probably be using fireworks and fireworks are well……OP
From my testing around 9-10 shots is enough to kill a prot IV netherite armor player and given its attack speed (0.5s load time) and how you can’t dodge it or see anything while under fire it gets pretty insane
Hence, together with quick charge III, the aoe allows you to not waste time aiming allowing a rapid torrent of undodgeable, screen blinding and highly damaging barrage that will also kill your targets allies.
This is not even considering stacking multiple loaded crossbows together.
1 thing that I think you forgot to mention or because it is an obscure mechanic is that bows with power enchantment their arrows fly faster and have longer range because arrow damage code is based on velocity so a more powerful bow can be insane
you should explain the firework crossbows in more detail. there are different crafting recipes for different types of pvp firework rockets.
the rocket that does the most damage is crafted with 7 firework stars, 1 sugarcane and 1 gunpowder. conversely a rocket crafted with only 1 star instead of 7 does the least damage.
additionally, i craft firework stars with 7 different coloured dyes, 1 fire charge and 1 gunpowder in order to create the most effective smokescreen to blind players who have their particles turned on. the fire charge creates a "large ball" firework star which increases the AoE damage and the animation radius
edit: you already have a video on this here at czcams.com/video/6ziSqmJxU6s/video.html
but you did not mention it in the video or link it in the description as of 3 hours after this video released
damn the i gotta try the smokescreen
A neat thing about the Tridents, Impaling works on mobs that are in rain as well- it can easily outdamage a Sharpness V Netherite Sword by a long shot with that.
Only on bedrock sadly 😢
15:00 I didn't know the witches nose moves when they drink a potion! That's pretty cool!
Straightforward and effective info, as always. Bravo!
Also one benefit I've noticed with piercing is if you don't hit the maximum number of mobs the arrow will hit the ground allowing you to pick it up. It's nice if you're low on arrows.
I love how you go in so much detail in all your videos and you cover literally any topic in Minecraft. You are honestly a legend.
great video! it would be helpful to see a visual comparison of the numeric damage values for each weapon, perhaps as a table at the end of the video. keep up the good work!
Excellant clarification of each weapons possible damage & best use. Solves a lot of my indecisiveness. I always start a world with a stone sword, but like the bow best early game. I can get a power 5, unbreaking, mending or infinity, & usually flame pretty quick thru fishing. I also like defeating witches, creepers, & trident wielding drowned from a distance.
Thank you for noting the differences between java & bedrock, it helps a lot.
one thing you also forgot to mention was that, if its thundering with a riptide trident you can fly with the elytra and use riptide to boost your speed to absurd amounts and move faster then creative flying and a elytra with firework rockets.
the best item is clearly the bucket, It can cure debuffs, Prevent fall damage, Carry pets and hold lava for burning pvp use.
Me with ender pearl, chorus fruit:
Am I a joke to you?
@@LambdaMc Yes yes you are you take a while to get but bucket has always been there.
Not to mention you can scale a wall with a single water bucket
you can breathe underwater too@@raider360X_sot
Im really glad to have those extensive guides and lots of contributions in the comments whenever i want to learn somethig new about minecraft
i don't like relying on the wiki ever since got taken over by Fandom
Thank you for your videos, they're so helpful!!
Seeing all of your guides makes me want to switch to Java version. I wasn't aware of all of the differences, as when I started playing bedrock I hadn't played minecraft since the year following it leaving beta. To be fair, I do have the option to do so, I just like to play minecraft in the same room as my partner, and it's easier for one of us to be on TV/console instead of dragging my computer out.
Also I have very small hands, keyboard controls hurt and fatigue my hands in a way controllers don't.
I'll work something out eventually, but in the meantime? Over here having Java envy. Your guides are still great!
there's mods that allow you to play java with a controller
Controllable mod on forge allows you to use all controllers
The channel called “the breakdown” had a good guide on how to install forge and the mod itself
If you have bedrock on pc, you get java for free now
@@H-cranky I'm aware, my inconveniences were unrelated to that
My fav is easily the Axe followed by the Bow. The thought of bashing someone's head with an axe is extremely appealing, but the fact that it's also an axe and you can cut wood with it is such a huge utility that I appreciate in my long distance adventures where inventory space is a luxury. Add this with early-mid game where 2 hits is enough to kill the average mob, and it's just perfect
in my opinion sword is better because it does more dps and if you miss a hit you can charge the hit up quickly again, you can also get combos with a sword.
Axes historically were used in combat alongside swords so to say that history was one sided in weapon preference is inaccurate.
@@TheSilverShadow17 I believe that the most used weapon back then was the spear. I would love to use one in minecraft, for some reason I like them, probably because of their defensive nature.
@@Shensdojo7 That they're also sharp long pointy sticks? We all know that the stick is the best weapon ever
@@TheSilverShadow17 Pointy Stick goes brrrrr
Really nice guide! I appreciate how you to over the enchantments and stuff! However! The combination of the flat tone and electric/retro sounding music has a special way of making me on edge and unsettled! Keep up the goodwork!
I love your videos, you made me know all of this in minecraft
I like how you have started to show more information about bedrock edition too
I'll try and continue giving more and more info for that version in the future
Bow is juicy but the trident is the best. It's so unique and badass
This tutorial is amazing , I'm definitively subing you are amazing !
Thanks for this guide:)
One tip, you can use a book with Looting III on a bow and it works. I keep all my Looting books just for bows, because you can get Looting on a sword normally.
Just make sure you don't have Flame on your bow, because if the mob gets killed by the fire it won't drop more loot. The arrow needs to kill the mob for more loot.
Very good for farming all sorts of things, especially in the Nether for Whither skulls and Ghast tears you can farm them from distance.
Really
I thought looting has nothing to do with damage type, but what you have equipped at moment of death🤔
@@MarsStarcruiserthat is indeed how it works, only what you have in your main hand at the time the mob dies matters
I got crazy amount of use from Riptide trident with elytra.
Another great vid!
your guides are the reasons i know most of the stuff i know, these videos are very very very helpful pls don’t stop making them
Hey eyecraft,
on bedrock you can pick up arrows fired from a infinity bow.
They won't be actually added to your inventory though.
I usually put smite on the sword and sharpness on the axe, its just a lot better for things like xp farms and the axe sharpness helps with pvp and that sort of stuff
Really helpful guide’s thanks 👍
Bro your guides saved me & helped me with my problems & i learned more about the trident thanks so much
I didn't know efficiency on axes can increase the chances of disabling a shield!! 🙏
the combo with bow and axe is just too op
thank you so much, this is great stuff to know
Love your channel !
Love watching your videos. Keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
I not sure if it's the same, since I havemt fished for a while, but you used to be able to fish a bow up with both Mending and Infinity. I swear I remember before I started building fishing farms I fished one out with a God Rod, but I also remember it having every single enchantment including Curse of Vanishing, which promptly vanished when I died.
Bows and fishing rods are in treasure drop table
This just proved something, Minecraft needs to add more weapon types, enchantments, and weaponize tools, imagine a weapon fishing rod that doesn’t reduce much durability does weak damage but can pull you in completely from 20 blocks away or have a enchantment that gives it a 5% chance of disarming a mobs item or players. Imagine a war hammer than stuns enemies and does more damage to hard skin mobs like skeletons wither and wither skeletons, maybe even has a leaping attack that does AOE. Daggers would be nice and cheap as a early game weapon, super fast attack speed and recovery, a throwable enchantment and a speed boost enchantment, making it a nice running away weapon. A colossal sword or great sword that is slow in recovery and attack speed but packs a huge damage punch. Enchantment should only be one and it should basically do it’s regular damage plus 5% of the remaining health to mobs, basically a boss farming sword for those tanky bosses. A katana would be nice too, with the introduction of cherry blossom trees, a katana should have the same stats as a sword, but different enchantments, one should be swift attacks which hit 3 times rapidly and knocks back the target on the last hit, and the other should be quick draw slash which if you press and hold, then click, you dash forward around 10 blocks and damage whatever behind you in a linear line. Lastly, some staffs with spells firing like the evoker teeth, some ghast charges, wither skulls, blaze rods, summoning minions, making 4x4 walls In front, explosions around you, inflicting blindness poison and starvation, etc.
this is really well edited I enjoyed this video very informative :DD
Thanks I appreciate that :)
You are my favorite youtuber keep up the amazing work
Thanks! Will do!
Are we going to ignore the multishot giga firework combo? That is the best combat weapon in the game imo.
So you shotgun something in the face with fireworks? I’ll have to try that
So so so very helpful thanks another for the vids
best way explained, thx brother
This dude is single handedly carrying me since I started playing minecraft for the first time a week ago, had to Sub instantly. Keep up the amazing guides man 👍
Thanks for the sub and hope you enjoy Minecraft!
@@Eyecraftmc ya your goated.. i was top confused and annoyed by all the new features added but you definitely dumbed them down for me, thank u bro bro
The crossbow is my favorite weapon in the game, and was the main factor in me switching from the X-BOX 360 to the PS4. Mojang decided to stop upgrading the 360 version after 1.13.
I mean yeah I think everything in that gen isn't updated anymore... It's starting to be like that for PS4 too. Like lol really? You act surprised
You consistently make fantastic guides. Thank you for the statistics you provide. It makes the game more enjoyable!
i really needed this thanks
Np!
@@Eyecraftmc dude i promise you're very good at making these like don't stop and play the algorithm i would love to support you and watch you grow you seem like a genuine good person
keep it up brother
You get bows from skeletons and strays as drops too. Also impaling on java edition doesn't work on dronwed as they are undead mobs not aquatic.
Its so frustrating that tridents cant have normal melee enchantments like the sword can.
I think its ridiculous that a tool can have sharpness but weapon cant
and the fact that IMPALING only works on aquatic mobs. name it something else or atleast change its effect
You can't put sharpness on tools??? Unless you are talking about an axe but that a 2-in-1 (weapon and tool)
Nice 👌 great content as always
Glad you enjoyed it
This information is super useful. Knowing that I’m using the best weapon is just a confidence booster in my hardcore world
The impaling enchantement work on every mob under rain too
Good to know!
@@Eyecraftmc Great videos 👍 help alot
Super explaining bro 👏👏👏👏
This dude single handedly helps me sleep with his relaxing voice and guve info at ince genuinely bro thanks
Swords/Axes are my favorite, since I am not the great at doing long range shots with the Bow. Though I usually carry both a Sword or Axe and Bow or Crossbow in my inventory of at all times. Also if mojang was to add a new weapon to minecraft vanilla, what would it be? For me it would probably be a mace/chain mace.
spears i think
This is video is very very useful because it looks like tutorial and actually an enchantment guide very useful and nice video 👍
Glad you like it!
Thx for info!!!
No problem!
It’s also worth mentioning that if you’re using a riptide trident in the rain, you can use is as a substitute for rockets when using an elytra. This makes it possible to do air-striking attacks.
the sword vs axe thing is pretty funny. axe got more instant damages, sword got way more dps. yet, in practice, you don't get the full benefit of attack speed in messy fights so axes tends to be slightly better. sweeping edge sword is still a godsend for what it does, having some aoe bring your total damage output way up, it's also a nice utility for basic exp farms were you have to kill or finish the monsters yourself.
Early game axe is much better but late game sword is better from the higher dps
@@Psodjakkdmdm392 That's not really true though lol. The sword has one point of higher DPS against some general enemies/mobs. But the Axe melts shields and has more range. Meaning that it is actually better for PVP on Bedrock.
Axes are now the most op weapon in bedrock pvp because it can be spammed on shields and have no cooldown. It still does 1 less damage then the sword though
Yes, also axes has 4 block reach instead of 2.5 block reach of the sword. Which especially comes in handy when facing the withers that like to float 3 blocks above player when fighting in the ocean. Swords just don’t cut it lol
@@MarsStarcruiserand if you put efficiency and sharpness on your axe, it’s triple the speed of a sword. Broken.
@@DonaldRumpusDumpus Is it really!? Not sure if that matters though since both weapons will still have to contend with the .5 second immunity frame after each successful hit. So neither really gains any dps from attacking any faster than what they currently are at.
Sad they nerfed the 4 hit range on axe down to 2.5. Buff’ing sword up to 3 to compensate, still feels kinda meh without sword sweep AoE since 3 is not enough for certain things. There isn’t a melee weapon capable of reaching dragon from regular fountain standing height, or wither floating above water from swim height anymore like axe was once capable of doing. Have to jump/bob up now for each hit greatly limiting the melee kill speed on either.
Axe was especially handy before one wither, because even if you could melee it’s floating height above ground just fine, wither’s love to take out the ground underneath you with each explosion, so water killing with axe, was my consistent go-to for them.
@@MarsStarcruiser oh I meant in bedrock, it’s very fast in bedrock. Literally it’s only saving grace. Because even though it does 1 less dmg, you can attack twice while the sword attacks once. ONLY WITH EFFICIENCY ENCHANTS. It works trust me I use it in my server everyday as a switch to weapon mainly for bosses with a lot of hearts.
And again you can put both efficiency and sharpness on an axe at the same time. I just think it’s good for like withers and stuff. And since I’m on a single player server I’ll one v 1 the warden sometimes by spawning him in. Giving me twenty extra hearts, strength three, speed 1, regen 1, saturation 10. For about 5 hours at a time. (Using commands)
Then I’ll just duke it out with some weapons and armor. It’s really fun since I love PVP, once I managed to kill a warden without potion effects but then I allowed myself golden apples, blocks, snowballs, etc.
My favorite weapon is def arrows! I like doing long-range attacks. Also I think I recall you can pick up arrows on Bedrock even if you had the infinity enchantment.
You’re the f ing best thx u 💪🏽
Actually, about impaling on the trident: it doesn’t work on drowned, as they are classified as undead
In general:
Crossbow:5
Axe:4
Trident:3
Bow:2
Sword:1
I get around perfectly with a bow and a sword in my hotbar
yeah sword is always good in non pvp
I really Appreciate the time you take out of your day to make this for us for that reason you brought me back to play Minecraft
This was so useful and interesting
It seems like the bedrock firework crossbow does not work the same. It doesnt seem to work like an impact detonation. Instead it seems to want to go the full flight duration
I Like trindet
I really really really really want to sweep edge. I mean its so cool! Hopefully this next update adding trial chambers will do that and update the combat
Been watching his videos non stop
Hey, i think you forgot that if you kill skeleton, there's small chance to get bow, also thanks for guides!
Bows have always been the most useful, safe, versatile weapon. Kill from safety, support allies, weaken enemies with tipped arrows. Getting an enchanted bow with Mending and Infinity is the first thing I focus on in my world, even before diamonds.
you can't have mending and infinity on the same bow?
@@kadenceflorence5179 ye right ?
The thing i love the most about the crossbow is that it's very efficient. If you have piercing IV and you only shoot through 1-4 mobs, the arrow actually does not disappear and you can pick it back up, essentially having unlimited arrows unless you line up like 5+ mobs for the shot.
Recently found your channel and Love your videos sm! 💜
impaling also effects mobs in the rain on Bedrock
Yes
Impaling is an amazing enchantment on bedrock
I hate myself 😭😭😭
After watching a couple your videos you made me pick up playing Minecraft again! I haven't played this game in a while and your videos helped me get up to speed. I miss how chill this game is compared to other brain numbing games.
Finished my netherite God Sword today:
Unbreaking III
Sharpness V
Looting III
Knockback II
Fire Aspect II
Mending
Love your videos! ❤️
Y r u so sad
LMAO
Me everytime I see you uploaded a vid : Omg yayyy :D!!
The video delivered what the title promised, maybe a detail was missing here and there but it really was a great tutorial for those who are starting and for me that I've been playing for a long time too.
And your videos are amazing, the content is interesting and the organization and editing of the video is also good. Thank you for your work brother .✌🏼💪🏼
You’ve made me get back into Minecraft
One effect tactic i do when using the crossbow is placing down cob webs in front of me as i move back when mobs are chasing or following to attack. Then fire a couple fireworks at em as there slowed down by the webs( i do this tactic mainly as they don't Explode on contact for me. If the mob doesn't notice me i fire a couple fireworks at them at a distance)
I always keep keep sheers with mending to pick em up after and a sword for close encounters or to get Experience to repair any tools, weapons, armor with mending on. Helps alot luckily for me i can get a lot of dyes and other materials to make as many fireworks for ammo and. some other farms for other resources to make em.
Funny thing is ever since i made a firework resource farms in a village i found with walls surrounding. The village i been getting more pillager patrols around that area. Its a bit worrying honestly😅
Thanks
Bro is literally 70% of what I look for in a minecraft channel. I’m glad I finally found you after all this time.
My favourite weapon is the Crossbow. It can be fully charged in preparation for a fight long before it is needed, and if you fill up your hotbar with them, can be used to create a "machine gun" of sorts.
Yet again 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
